Can you imagine my surprise when, as I'm happily reading along, I came across my sister's name in your story? The name Corrine is not a very common name, especially with this particular spelling, and seeing it here in conjunction with Amos and Cedric just made my jaw drop.
I really like the homeyness of this chapter. I love the fact that Molly always feels as "giddy as a bride" when Arthur takes her to the tea shop. You have Fred and George down to the last quip and I enjoyed their antics thoroughly. This is an all-around enjoyable chapter that deserves for making me smile. |

I'm doubly honored that you are reading and that you took time to review. I have enjoyed so many stories you have written or Betaed.
In my Weasley Universe, Molly and Corrine were both Gryffindors who were in the same year. Corrine was Molly's Maid of Honor and she met Arthur's friend Amos at their wedding. I should dust off my Molly and Arthur's Wedding one of these months.
One of my husband's oldest friends is named Corrine., and I thought it was a good name for Ceddie's Mum. My daughter currently has a toddler Koryn in her day care. I guess that is the modern spelling.
I'm just finishing Ginny's Fourth Year currently and hope to do all seven of her years from Molly's POV. |

this was my favourite line from this chapter: gave her a pat rather lower than her back |

| Thank you Sandy. I think you had already read a version of this over at Live Journal in the Kate Wallace story but I tightened it up in some places and expanded it in others. I like the Empty Nest Syndrome. It's almost like being newlyweds. |

| Hi! I just read this and caught up to the latest chapter. I really like the way you express your characters, especially some of the older ones, like Molly. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Nicely done. |

Thanks for taking time to review. I identify pretty strongly with Molly, maybe because I had a "Brady Bunch" to raise.
I started writing because my grandkids wanted to know where Baby Harry went when his Mum and Dad were killed. |

| Another really goood chapter, but the bit that I really like about is Ginny asking permission from Molly to go outside with Fred and George in the snow, for what's probably the last time. |

| Actually, I had both Ginny and the twins pleading with Molly to go out in the snow and Gerry told me it was not believable. Maybe my kids were too malleable. I have twin nieces and nephews (identical boys and a mixed set) but no one was quite like the Weasley twins. |

| Oh I'm all nostalgic for Christmas now. I love fall, it starts my favorite time of year which is about now through my birthday in January. So thank you for getting me in the spirit for my favorite things a little early, I'm so excited for Christmas. Sorry for rambling. I loved this chapter, you did a wonderful job! |

Now you've gotten me in the Christmas Spirit, too. My birthday (along with five other family members is Thanksgiving week) so we start celebrating early.
Since the Hogwarts students don't tell Molly much of what is happening this year, I can write about her friendships and marriage. Empty Nesters have to start taking care of themselves and their relationships. |
